Mexican hotel shows strength

11th Jan 2006

Hotel Marina El Cid in the Riviera Maya has set the new date of Feb. 18, 2006, for its grand opening.
The deluxe all-inclusive resort was in its early stages of construction last October when Hurricane Wilma struck. A comprehensive evaluation by the El Cid Construction Company revealed minimal damage to the US$40 million resort near Playa del Carmen.

“The property’s solid concrete construction weathered the storm,” explains Carlos Berdegué, CEO, El Cid Resorts. “We were very fortunate that windows hadn’t been installed, landscaping and furnishing hadn’t begun, and the electricity and plumbing fixtures were not yet in place.
